Southwest Wall - Tubbataha Reef

The Southwest Wall in Tubbataha is a reliable dive, often tucked in when the currents are a bit sporty elsewhere. We usually drop in around 22 meters, just enough depth to feel like you’re properly on the wall, but shallow enough for decent bottom time. The wall itself is mostly hard corals, lots of table corals and robust branching types, creating plenty of nooks. You’ll spot the usual suspects here: schools of bannerfish fluttering close to the reef, the occasional white-tip reef shark cruising the ledges. It’s a good, solid dive, especially for intermediate divers who appreciate a relaxed drift along a healthy reef.
